Thank you,

I have received two mails relating to this Amaranthus, one suggesting probability of A. cruentus L., and the other rejecting it.

I take the 2nd one, for much have been updated since the days of FBI, FI, Bengal Plants .... etc.

Amaranthus in efloras (FoC, FoP, FoZ, FoNA..... etc.) are puzzling (for amateurs like me), along with their current accepted names. There is L. / non L. issues and ssp. issues.

I take a 2nd, and final call, based on FoC - Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.?

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit
